Elwyn:
OK. I bet this set's theme will be
a) boy begs girl to be his girlfriend
b) boy begs for a kiss
c) boy begs for sex
d) girl dumps boy, boy begs for her to come back
e) boy turns out to be a psycho and she begs for her life

Oh my god Elwyn...... that was the best! You just had me laughing wicked hard.....

Chuck:
Never mind the cheese! This one is covered in syrup!

It still amuses me that my ex-housemate spoke about getting a bike for 3 years then finally bought one, rode it once or twice (it had lots of problems with the battery losing charge), realised he liked life too much and never wanted his girlfriend to want to go on it and sold it

dirty old man:
Good morning Meghan/Bosco. Thanks to you and Dave B, for the downloads. Since I've received my first Social Security check this week, how about a "all you young people keep working to support us geezers in our golden years" theme. Please?

"She Comes Running" by the marvelous Lee Hazelwood should do it, shouldn't it. And of course, the "walk, don't run" song by many artists, there also a cover by the Mermen called : "Run, don't walk"

Thu. 2/24/11 7:50am
pierre:

Thu. 2/24/11 7:58am
Meghan:
Not sure.... but let's remember, I don't play as much music as I normally do during marathon!

Thu. 2/24/11 8:15am
Chuck:
Oh, so many versions of this song! All so great!

Think my first load of wash has cycled. Back in a few...

Elwyn:
@Pierre: Nope. I have read that he's slept with thousands of women.

@Dave: no need to feel shame for your love of 80s pop-rock... which leads me to:

@Everyone:
I saw Belinda Carlisle on Sunday night. It was a really good concert. Her voice was great, she looked great etc.

One thing I found interesting was that *every* song was a major single for her except for the encore which was two Go-Gos hits and "Heaven is a Place on Earth". Absolutely no new songs. It was like a live "Best of".

I almost feel confused about that. I know - I'm weird. I mean I love all those songs. I'm just not sure how to feel that she's become a live greatest hits package.

Thu. 2/24/11 8:18am
Dave B.:
I wish I could find Fishbone doing their version of "Running With The Devil" entitled "Running With Your Pants Off"

In their early days that and "Alcoholic" used to destroy.

Thu. 2/24/11 8:24am
Chuck:
A lot of artists are like that, Elwyn. That's why they end up in Las Vegas. Some new material from her would be a great thing though!

Thu. 2/24/11 8:29am
Elwyn:
I guess it was the first time I'd seen an artist who hadn't put out new material in awhile but was still touring.

I really wanted to see Huey Lewis and the News last year and they haven't put out new material for ages. However, their tour was cancelled and there were some really vocally angry fans. The official reason was they had to go back to the recording studio. However, I am certain the $150/ticket price tag was excessive and exploitive of 80s nostalgia. That's why I decided not to go. The organiser of the tour seems to try to organise quite a few nostalgia tours at exhorbitant prices. (Again, the reason why I skipped Devo with Cheap Trick.)

Belinda was $55. I'd happily pay that again.

Chuck:
I'm not sure what the exchange rate is between Australian dollars and American. Doesn't sound like a bad price for a show though....

Thu. 2/24/11 8:33am
Chuck:
The Belinda show that is. The others you mention is prohibitive...

Thu. 2/24/11 8:36am
Chuck:
Of course, the best one I've been to was a Little Steven's Garage show. $20 to see 43 different bands all day! Now that was a deal!

Thu. 2/24/11 8:37am
Elwyn:
At the moment, the US and the Australian dollar are almost the same. It's been pretty good for us to import stuff for the last year or so and to sponsor WFMU. :-)
